  • IMac turns off while sleeping

    My iMac sometimes turns off during sleep mode, I did call apple care and went through utilities and the tech support said that issue should be resolved, but it happen again today. Has anyone else had the same issues? Is this also the start of some bigger issues down the line?
    Thanks,
    BC

    HI BC,
    Check System Preferences/Energy Saver. Click the Schedule button bottom right in that pane and make sure it's not set to turn off at a certain time.
    According to this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237 Make sure your software is up to date.

  • Why is mac turning off randomly?

    My mac (a couple of months old) has been shutting off randomly as of late. It started last night. It just powered down. Is it the battery faulty? Its charging normally. What should I do?

    No it hasn't. Everything looks fine to me in the system report.

  • Why does my mac wake up from sleep while it is closed when I plug in the charger and viceversa (plug or unplug)?? It is latest 13 Pro with disk drive 2012-2013

         I dont know why it happens. I clos my mac, it goes to sleep and when it is already sleeping if i plug the charger then it wakes up, or at least the fans and the white led light near to the infrared thing turns on. And this also happens if it is sleeping with the charger plugged and whenever i want to quit the plug cause its already charged it turns on. All this happens with the lid (top cover) closed and only when it is sleeping and I unplug when it is pluged, or plug if it is not. I have some more Macbook pro olders 2010, and 2009-8 with 10.9.2, and this thing does not happen to them. Please if someone knows tell me??? If it is not clear is the Macbook Pro 13 with 3.0 usb, disk drive, the latest that apple announced with the disk drive, so i think it is late 2012 or 2013

    There are two distinct sets of settings for Energy-Saver items -- one for Battery, one for Power Adapter.
    When you plug in the adapter, it needs to wake up and change over to the other settings -- sort of like the hospital waking you up to be sure you get your sleeping pill.
    The later versions of Power Management are more sophisticated than older versions, so they are more likely to do this "correctly" -- to wake up and change over.

  • My mac hung up while installing an update. It took hours and still did not complete the update. I restarted my mac. Upon turning it back on, a wheel has been spinning on a grey screen. I tried to reinstall OS X from utilities, but encounter an error. Why?

    My mac hung up while installing an update. It took hours and still did not complete the update. I restarted my mac. Upon turning it back on, a wheel has been spinning on a grey screen. I tried to reinstall OS X from utilities, but encounter an error. What do I do?

    Hey Manaskala,
    First point of call on all grey screen issues is the following:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
    Given this issue has appeared after a software update, I'd advise you do the following instead though:
    1. Get an external hard drive, with enough space to put the entire hard drive of your Mac onto. Make sure you've safely copied any data you have off of it, as the next step will erase it.
    2. In the recovery HD of your machine, use Disk Utility to format you EXTERNAL hard drive with the partition table as GUID, and the format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    3. Get out of Disk Utility, and click Reinstall Mac OS X.
    4. When asked where, choose to install onto your external hard drive.
    5. When the download and installation is complete, your Mac will reboot into a clean fresh setup screen. Make your user account an administrator, and make up a name and password; I use 'Test' and 'test'.
    6. Your machine is now running from the external hard drive, not the internal hard drive, so don't be alarmed when you don't see your files.
    7. Open the finder, you should see 'Macintosh HD' in the sidebar. This is the internal hard drive of your computer.
    8. Open Macintosh HD, and copy out the following folders into a new folder on your desktop:
    -Users.
    -Applications.
    -Library. (This only needs to be done if you use 3rd party software that saves things in the /Library, do a quick google and see if it does e.g. Photoshop, Protools).
    9. When these have copied (it'll take quiet a while), you can now use Disk Utility to erase your hard drive. Don't erase Macintosh HD but the ENTIRE hard drive on the inside of your Mac, and as Thomas A Reed mentioned, there was likely an existing issue on your HDD so please go to Security Options and choose 'Zero Out' before clicking erase. This will rebuild the partition table which was a possible cause of the failed update.
    10. Reboot the machine holding 'Option', go to recovery HD.
    11. Choose 'Reinstall Mac OS X', this time onto your INTERNAL hard drive.
    12. When this is complete, make another admin user called test and password test, like you did last time.
    13. Run Software Update from the  menu of your Mac.
    14. In the Finder, you should see your external Hard Drive. open it up, inside that you should see your desktop etc, and on the desktop will be your folder containing Library, Applications and Users.
    15. Go to Finder up next to the  and choose File -> New Finder Window.
    16. In your second finder window, open up Macintosh HD (through the Go -> Computer menu), and go to your Users folder.
    17. Open the Users folder in your first finder window, and copy your user folder (has your name on it) into the second user folder (the one inside Macintosh HD).
    18. This might take a while.
    19. When complete, go to System Preferences -> Users and Groups and unlock the padlock.
    20. Click the '+' sign, and make a new administrator user.
    21. Now, the fun bit. Note the name of your user folder you copied, e.g. 'Nathan', containing all of your stuff. Note the difference between your user folder (has your name on it) and the Users folder (contains YOUR user folder, guest folder and shared folder).
    22. Make the ACCOUNT NAME of your new adminstrator user the EXACT name of your user folder (normally lower case and without spaces), this is case sensitive folks. Your full name can be whatever you want, usually your full name.
    23. Then click create. You should be informed that a home folder with that name in it already exists in the Users folder, would you like to make your new account from that folder? say YES!
    24. When this is complete, log out of the Test user, log into your new account we've just made, all your stuff should be there.
    25. ???????
    26. Profit.
    There's a few little bits that may need to be cleaned up afterwards, applications folder from your external hard drive should replace the applications folder on your internal hard drive, if the previously mentioned /Library folder contained important goodies then that should replace the /Library folder on your new Mac.
    Hopefully that will help you out, straight after that is done make sure your stuff is there, erase your external hard drive and turn on time machine!

  • Why my mac sleep while utorrent downloading?

    why my mac sleep during downloading?

    If you click the Mouse, Keyboard or Trackpad does it wake up?

  • Macbook Pro won't login after sleep (sleep with low battery -- mac turned off maybe it's called save sleep)

    Macbook Pro won't login after sleep (sleep with low battery --> mac turned off maybe it's called save sleep)
    So if I hit the powerbutton my mbp booted like it is booting from the save sleep (so very fast and the login screen is there in about 10 sec.and there is no apple logo while booting just the desktop screen in "unsharp" ore foggy however...)
    Then when i see the login (if the keyboard backlight turned on) i wand do tipe in my code but it won't work... the trackpad is not working; and when i plug-in a usb mouse the mbp is not powering on the usb-mouse (laser is off)
    Why is that this way?
    Is there n option to wake up the mbp fromm deep/save sleep without haveing issiues after that?
    THX

    Sorry for such a long delayed response...
    I was able to get to an apple store this past weekend, and let me tell you... I'm about finished with there great "support".
    Right before I went to the store, I tried to eject a disk. Well the cloth in the SuperDrive (I assume to protect the drive from dust and such) Pulled up with my disk. So I get the Apple store, describe my problem and what happened with the cloth piece. The "Genius" writes up a form and tells me they have to run diagnostic and it will take a couple days... and I will get a call when its done (1-3 days).
    Well on day number 3 I called up the store and they told me it was ready to be picked up? I asked if anything had been fixed and they told me they could not reproduce my "sleep issue", so they couldn't fix that.. but told me the cloth piece in the SuperDrive had been fixed.
    I drive an hour (one way) to the Apple store to find that all they did was PULLED OUT the cloth... they did not replace it! So basically I have a hole for a Super Drive.
    I asked why I was not called to say that my computer was ready to be picked up... didn't get an answer on that one.
    I asked why my SuperDrive was said to be fixed, when nothing was done... they told me that it would have to be sent out to the factory store for that to be fixed (FIRST TIME THEY MENTIONED THAT!) Oh, and that would take 5-7 business days. Well that's not going to happen right now considering I'm a college student that NEEDS a working computer!
    So I go home, angry... start just putting all my important documents back on the computer. And the screen starts blinking!!!! I guess now I have the same thing described in another post on these forms...
    Lets just say that I'm not very happy with Apple right now! If anybody else has success on either the sleep issue or the screen blinking issue, please let me know!
    Thank you!

  • MacBook Pro discharges partially while sleeping, why?

    Hello here,
    I noticed that, unlike earlier when I started to use this Mac, if I leave it sleeping in my bag during half of the day only to wake it up later, the battery only holds a charge of anywhere between 75 and 90%.
    Of course, the Console doesn't record anything between the time I put it to sleep and the time it is woken up.
    How to correct this bug and revert to the standard behavior, i.e. sleeping soundly until needed, without losing more than 1% every 48 hour?

    cubytus wrote:
    Well, if I am to leave my MBP unused for 2 days, I would leave it plugged in and fully turned on so as to allow for automated backups to be made, especially remote ones (back when SpiderOak worked anyway) as I can't expect a multi-gig upload to complete in a matter of minutes.
    Sure, no problem. No harm done in keeping it plugged in and no overcharge will occur. Sugggest you set Energy Saver to turn the display OFF after a reasonable interval, rather than have the screensaver burning the LEDs unnecessarily.
    This still doesn't really answer my questionas to why this Mac seems to be burning through the battery when sleeping.
    RAM's gotta keep alive, especially if sleeping rather than hibernating. And I suppose faster RAM will need more juice, even if in low power quiesced mode. Back in the days of 667MHz DIMMs would need less than today's 1600MHz SO-DIMMs. Have noted direct correlation with RAM usage: low drain of no apps are running - high drain if everything + kitchen sink is left going prior to sleep.
    How can it be compared to the boasted capability of other Macs to retain their charge for up to 30 days while sleeping?
    Where would that boast be found? Have read Apple boasting that modern batteries last IN USE throughout a working day (~8-10 hours), but never seen anything about "sleeping beauty" Macs....

  • Why my ipad turn off suddenly while working..??

    why my ipad turn off suddenly while working..??

    I have been having the same problem for about a month.  It has now gotten so bad I can no longer use my iPad 3. 
    Having problems with my iPad 3 shutting down, starting up, shutting down continuously. 
    I have tried closing all apps in Task Bar & the sleep/home routine.  They worked for awhile, but now nothing is working!
    I was told that this is a common problem with the iPad 3 and that it is a manufacturers defect.
    It is 14 months old and Apple wants over $300 for send-in service.  I have tried to reset to factory defaults, but  ipad keeps shutting down & restoration never finishes.  I am not sure whether to have it repaired or cut my losses and move on to something else.  Frustrating & expensive.  Any suggestions???

  • When I turn on my TV/AV receiver my Mac mini goes to sleep!?

    This issue occurs regardless of whether the Mac Mini is in sleep mode or awake...
    I have my Mac Mini connected to my HDTV, therefore I connect using an iPad as a remote.
    When I turn on the TV and receiver (Onkyo), the Mac Mini will go in to sleep mode, even after showing the desktop with no problem (moments later it will turn off). This makes it very hard to wake up using any iPad apps, because even using wake on LAN functions these seem to have little effect. On some occasions I can use wake on LAN and this works, however most of the time this is unsuccessful. If the Mac Mini is already in sleep mode, I will of course have the same problems.
    My main issue is that this is only started happening since upgrading to mountain lion and there was no problem before using lion.
    Is anyone experiencing these issues and/or have any suggestions?

    Try restarting you computer by holding down the option key, this should give you the option to select your startup volume, select Macintosh HD.

    The panic was caused by the MAXPower device or its software, maybe with help from one or more of the other third-party system modifications you've installed.
    First check the manufacturer's website for an update. If there is none, or if it doesn't help, I suggest you remove the device, back up all data, and then remove the software according to the manufacturer's instructions. Reboot and see whether there's an improvement. If there isn't, post another panic report.

  • I put my mac book pro to sleep the other day and now when I turn it back on it simply comes on for about 10 secs and go right back to sleep.  I have tried about everything possible I know of, any suggestions??

    Recently I put my 2009 macbook pro to sleep and the next day I came back to turn it on, it turned on for about 10 secs and then went right back to sleep.  I've done all I can think of to get it to work but it just goes right back to sleep before I can do anything.  Any suggestions??
    thanks
    hock

    You can check if your Mac is set to sleep mode:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Energy Saver.
    Click Schedule.
    You can set your Computer Sleep to Never
    and your Display Sleep to Never

  • Why won't my Mac Pro go to sleep?

    Why won't my Mac Pro go to sleep?

    Hi X,
    I've been having the same problem of mac pro not going to sleep. I think its to do with some universal audio drivers installed with a recent hardware interface I've added.
    the terminal app in response to above line reads;
    com.uaudio.driver.UAD2System(6.3.1)
    com.uaudio.driver.UAFWAudio(4.0.0
    com.digidesign.iokit.DigiDal(9.0.6f4)
    com.paceap.kext.pacesupport.snowleopard(5.8)
    launch agents (in user)
    com.adobe.ARM.202f4087f2bbde52e3ac2df389f53a4f123223c9cc56a8fd83a6f7ae.plist
    com.apple.FolderActions.enabled.plist
    com.apple.FolderActions.folders.plist
    com.google.keystone.agent.plist
    launch agents and daemons - too many to list
    any idea from this or would you need to see all the files you listed in Mona Gorillas query?
    appreciate your input

  • Why may mac starts all programmes (word, excel..etc), when I turn my mac on?

    why may mac starts all programmes (word, excel..etc), when I turn my mac on?

    Make sure that Open at Login is not selected?
    ... and that you have not checked the box "Reopen windows when logging back in"?
    ...  and Word, Excel etc are not included in the items listed in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items?
